Fatima Bibi is a 56 year oldwoman who lives with her family of 7 in Ayanagar village. Her husband
works as daily wage laborer and has no fixed income. Sheand her two elder daughters run the
household. She came to work at Pure Ghee about two years ago as a seamstress.
Over time she has mastered the art of making our unique Crazy Katran fabric.
Intially she was reluctant to do this work as it seemed complicated and took
longer than regular sewing. The word has got around and women from the village
are eager to learn this new technique. Fatima now teaches women who come
seeking work .
